Eh, Hitchens was a Marxist and in one of his last interviews before dying he said “I still think like a Marxist”. Apparently his last words were “Capitalism, downfall”.
His knowledge of history and political affairs was also impressive. He had mentioned Marx in his later years a couple of times. It got me interested in Socialism after almost exclusively bashing it. He also was critiquing the Clintons from the Left and it opened up a whole new paradigm for me. “You can hate the Clintons and not be a Republican?”
It’s a shame he supported the War on Terror because he helped me shift away from being a Christian and also helped me read into socialism.
I’m from the Christopher Hitchens atheist to communist pipeline. No I won’t be doing an AMA.
Dawkins for me
I'm pretty sure Hitchens and Dawkins are the same person.
